Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Wigan?

5 of the 12 boarding kennels we list in Wigan publish prices. A single dog costs from £20 to £25 per day (median £22), as checked on 19 October 2026. 7 don't publish prices online, so call them for a quote.

Are boarding kennels in Wigan licensed?

Anyone who boards dogs as a business in England needs a licence from their local council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. We check every business on this page against its council's public register (Wigan Council). 12 of 12 are on a register. Where we can't find a licence, the listing says so: ask the business for its licence number before you book.

What does the council star rating mean?

After inspecting a licensed business, the council awards 1 to 5 stars based on its welfare standards and risk. 5 stars means it meets the higher standards and is low risk, and gets a 3-year licence. 3 stars means it meets the minimum legal standards and is low risk. 1 star means there were minor failings. Every star level is fully licensed.

What vaccinations does my dog need?

The Wigan kennels that publish their requirements all ask for an up-to-date vaccination certificate on arrival. Kennel cough vaccination is usually recommended. Some kennels need it given at least two weeks before arrival, so check with your vet and the kennel early.

Will I be charged for the arrival and departure days?

Often, yes. Several boarding kennels here charge per day and count both the drop-off and pick-up day. Ask when you book so you can compare prices fairly.
